Confirmed where?

18 months is neither here nor there. Less pay out for them when Guardiola becomes available, a little pay off for Benitez at the same time.

I want to wish him well, but I can't bring myself to.

Chelsea Football Club can confirm Rafael Benitez has been appointed interim first-team manager until the end of the season.

The owner and the Board believe that in Benitez we have a manager with significant experience at the highest level of football, who can come in and immediately help deliver our objectives.

The 52-year-old Spaniard is due to meet the players at the training ground in Cobham tomorrow.

The two-time UEFA Manager of the Year comes with outstanding pedigree. He began his managerial career in his homeland, most notably at Valencia where he built a reputation as one of Europe's top coaches by winning the Spanish League twice and the UEFA Cup. He then spent six years at Liverpool and led them to their fifth European Cup and an FA Cup.

Short term deal with his successor lined up, those senior players & fans.... Will be a disaster but fun to watch. This morning I didnt think we could get in the top four but tonight its on!

Good luck Rafa.

This is going to be fun. Get some popcorn in. A shitty little club in west London is about to get a crash course in class.

Good luck rafa, FSG hang your heads in shame for not talking to this man.

So its not an 18 month deal. Its only till the end of the season

Tom_B · « **Reply #22 on:** November 21, 2012, 07:34:18 pm »

Happy he is back in footy, bit gutted its with them.

Having said that, their fans annoyed because of their made up rivalry with us should have a long think.

rob1408 · « **Reply #23 on:** November 21, 2012, 07:34:26 pm »

So where did the 18 months come from ?

I wish him luck but I'm surprised he's took the job under these circumstances.

HighSix · « **Reply #24 on:** November 21, 2012, 07:34:27 pm »

'interim first-team manager until the end of the season'

Disgusted, those c*nts don't deserve the man.

All the best Rafa, now win the fucking title mate.

On a side note, Torres is going straight into my fantasy team.

Blarf · « **Reply #26 on:** November 21, 2012, 07:35:03 pm »

So... That terrible decision to sack him just turned worse...

Love Rafa, will be strange seeing him manage a team I've become increasingly unfond of in recent years but this is football

Renato · « **Reply #30 on:** November 21, 2012, 07:35:35 pm »

Fucking hell judging by the reactions on here the population of Rawk will be halved as there's a mass migration to the Shed End

just Riggins? · « **Reply #31 on:** November 21, 2012, 07:35:37 pm »

Fuck off. Feel a bit sick.

FSG can do one.

Oh this hurts.

Any fantasy of him coming back to us is probably nailed shut now. Painful. Gutted.
